same plan as me! :oops:

already got a spare wing and getting the bmc tomoz (£130!!! bargain!!) looking to fibreglass the 'elephant trunk' cold air feed to the inner wing to effectively force air in....

Seen this mod done at GTi International one some french chap's crazy car. Looks ace! Just one question though: what happens when it's raining 'n' horrible, like today, and your filter's gulping down rainwater? Or when you're washing your car with a pressure washer or such? :roll:

Have to design something into it too stop water, maybe an upwards kink in the pipe or something like that, deffinatly need to be thought about tho.

where are you getting a vent from Iceypolo, i saw some on an internet site awhile back but cant find it for the life of me now. so i was thinking bout making my own (with a lil help from a friend with a CNC Plasma cutter)

well i dont wash the car with a pressure washer, whats wrong with a bit of elbow grease and a sponge! :D

was thinking bout a drainage hole for rainwater/ spray to escape without compromising the airflow... still an idea in its infancy although now have the wing and BMC!! :wink:

was going to go to venom as have had good service from them before... unsure which style to go wth yet tho...

they're the only options i've seen...venom used one turned on its side for their polo vr6 (pics on their site)

other than that get cool louvres to press your own design into a new wing... can do a number of styles if i'm not wrong...
